    This is definitely the coolest logo for a brewery.

    Thanks for the reply, I love active breweries on BA! I was lucky enough to try one can of each Whirlpool and Morph a while back and thought they were awesome beers. Well done!

    Have not had it, but based on the previous comments in this thread. I am sure it will be the "best batch yet"!

    I am curious for feedback too. We personally think its one of the best batches yet. But I would love to hear what you think. Hope people are enjoying both the new can batch of Whirlpool and Morph.

    Snagged a couple 4pks of Morph & Whirlpool at Julio's Liqours (couple cases were sitting on the floor unrefrigerated -_-) on a day trip up to Worcester. Really impressed by Whirlpool. One of the best sub 5% hoppy beers I've tasted, most "session" beer taste like hoppy seltzer, IMO. Haven't cracked open Morph yet.

    Thoroughly enjoyed Morph January 17th batch. Have yet to try Whirlpool - am definitely looking forward to seeing 4-paks of pint cans in the coming months.

    Had my first Whirlpool and it's probably the best session beer I've had. And the the 11/18 Morph was terrific.

    Not sure that fnit was mentioned. Anyone know Santilli release?

    No release date set for Santilli. But the label just got approved by the TTB now its off to the can printers. Hopefully coming in the next 3 months or so. Just like Whirlpool these will be 16 oz pounder cans!

    Santilli will be based on our favorite aspects of the various Morph batches. This will become our "house" IPA.

    Just wanted to leave my two cents. Tried the February Morph at the brewery on Friday, and immediately picked up some cans. IIRC, it was only 5.1 percent, but just a really flavorful IPA for that ABV level. I thought it tasted similar to the Brothers Kennison beer they had for the Santilli Showdown a few months back that I really liked -- that one, though, I remember being more in the 7 ABV range.

    I know someone joked that people would say this version of Morph was the "best one yet," but I thought it was really, really good. The only one I think I've liked better is when they canned Brothers Kennison as one of their Morph variants after the competition.

    Keep up the good work, guys. Excited for Santilli in 16 oz. cans!

    Still blown away by Whirlpool but something is very off with the 4pks of Morph that I picked up. They smell solid but all I get when tasting is an unpleasant bitterness (and I love big bitter DIPAs) & a strange sour/stale taste that sits on the tongue. Took it to a bottle share with some local homebrewers, that was also the consensus, something was very off.

    Everything else I've tried by Night Shift was fantastic, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a problem somewhere along the line. They were canned the day before I picked them up last Thursday at Julio's Liqours, at least two cases were sitting out on the floor, few 4pks of Whirlpool were refrigerated.

    I liked this latest batch of Morph but if we can vote I still throw my support behind the 10/21 batch. That was in-cred-uh-bull ...

    This batch is easily the best low abv IPA I've had in a very long time.

    Saw some at Vinnin in Swampscott and American Provisions in Southie. I'm guessing that other accounts received some as well.

    It is. I've personally seen it at Fort Point Market, and it's also at Vin Bin in Southborough (according to a conversation I had on Instagram), just to cover the extremes in terms of Boston area locations.

    I absolutely love Whirlpool.

    Tried this new batch out of curiousity because its the best batch ever, (even though I said I was done with it but enjoy being proven wrong). It was very overcarbed, at least for my liking. There's a strong lingering bitterness, like you mentioned, that reminds me of chewing on a hop pellet. Flavor seems alright but one dimensional - grassy. Maybe its too "green" right now to really taste it. It's not murky though.
